Salaries revised in England since 1873
10.12. So far as England is concerned, it may be noted that the salaries of the higher judiciary, last increased on April 1, 1966, were increased again under the Judges' Remuneration Order, 1970. The new scale of ¨ 11,500 p.a. for a High Court Judge compare1 with ¨ 10,000 introduced in 1966, ¨ 8,000 in 1954 and ¨ 5,000 in 1873. This will clearly show that in England, Parliament has been raising the salaries of Judges during the last 100 years.
